There was a temptation to leave the front bit for after the first drive. Ultimately, the temptation was overcome. Probably a good thing too, because the front was NOT in good shape. The link pin holes where completely oval. The tie rods were tired. The shocks knackered. The brakes….kaput.
Skip forward a few weeks and the car is pretty much refurbished as a whole. The front underpinnings now match the rest of the car I feel. Brake slave cylinders, master cylinder, king and link pins, shocks, tie rods, shoes, drums, pedals.. you name it, its done. Should make for a better, albeit unaligned, first drive.
